Matins Luke 24.1-12 § 112

Luke 24.1-12 § 112
1

NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ὄρθρου βαθέος ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα φέρουσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα, καί τινες σὺν αὐταῖς.

[Заⷱ҇ 112] Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀ ра́нѡ прїидо́ша на гро́бъ, носѧ́щѧ ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́ваша а҆рѡма́ты: и҆ дрꙋгі̑ѧ съ ни́ми:

2

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

εὗρον δὲ τὸν λίθον ἀποκεκυλισμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου,

ѡ҆брѣто́ша же ка́мень ѿвале́нъ ѿ гро́ба,

3

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι οὐχ εὗρον τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ.

и҆ вше́дшѧ не ѡ҆брѣто́ша тѣлесѐ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са.

4

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαπορεῖσθαι αὐτὰς περὶ τούτου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο ἐπέστησαν αὐταῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσιν ἀστραπτούσαις.

И҆ бы́сть не домышлѧ́ющымсѧ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ се́мъ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ̑жа два̀ ста́ста пред̾ ни́ми въ ри́захъ блеща́щихсѧ.

5

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

ἐμφόβων δὲ γενομένων αὐτῶν καὶ κλινουσῶν τὸ πρόσωπον εἰς τὴν γῆν εἶπον πρὸς αὐτάς· τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν;

Пристра̑шнымъ же бы́вшымъ и҆̀мъ и҆ покло́ньшымъ ли́ца на зе́млю, реко́ста къ ни̑мъ: что̀ и҆́щете жива́го съ ме́ртвыми;

6

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε, ἀλλ᾿ ἠγέρθη· μνήσθητε ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν ἔτι ὢν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ,

нѣ́сть здѣ̀, но воста̀: помѧни́те, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а ва́мъ, є҆щѐ сы́й въ галїле́и,

7

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

λέγων ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθῆναι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστῆναι.

гл҃ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ сн҃ꙋ чл҃вѣ́ческомꙋ пре́данꙋ бы́ти въ рꙋ́цѣ человѣ̑къ грѣ̑шникъ, и҆ пропѧ́тꙋ бы́ти, и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воскрⷭ҇нꙋти.

8

And they remembered his words,

καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν τῶν ρημάτων αὐτοῦ,

И҆ помѧнꙋ́ша гл҃го́лы є҆гѡ̀,

9

And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

καὶ ὑποστρέψασαι ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπήγγειλαν ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἕνδεκα καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς λοιποῖς.

и҆ возвра́щшѧсѧ ѿ гро́ба, возвѣсти́ша всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ є҆диномꙋна́десѧте и҆ всѣ̑мъ про́чымъ.

10

It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

ἦσαν δὲ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ Μαρία καὶ Ἰωάννα καὶ Μαρία Ἰακώβου καὶ οἱ λοιπαὶ σὺν αὐταῖς, αἳ ἔλεγον πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ταῦτα.

Бѧ́ше же магдали́на марі́а и҆ і҆ѡа́нна и҆ марі́а і҆а́кѡвлѧ, и҆ про́чыѧ съ ни́ми, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лахꙋ ко а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ сїѧ̑.

11

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

καὶ ἐφάνησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λῆρος τὰ ρήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἠπίστουν αὐταῖς.

И҆ ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ пред̾ ни́ми ꙗ҆́кѡ лжа̀ глаго́лы и҆́хъ, и҆ не вѣ́ровахꙋ и҆̀мъ.

12

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἀναστὰς ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα μόνα, καὶ ἀπῆλθε πρὸς ἑαυτὸν θαυμάζων τὸ γεγονός.

[Заⷱ҇ 113] Пе́тръ же воста́въ течѐ ко гро́бꙋ и҆ прини́къ ви́дѣ ри̑зы є҆ди̑ны лежа́щѧ: и҆ ѿи́де, въ себѣ̀ дивѧ́сѧ бы́вшемꙋ.

Ephesians 5:8–19 § 229

Ephesians 5:8–19 § 229

Brethren, walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness, and truth), proving what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord …

Luke 18.18-27 § 91

Luke 18.18-27 § 91

18

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέ τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων· διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;

[Заⷱ҇ 91] И҆ вопросѝ є҆го̀ нѣ́кїй кнѧ́зь, глаго́лѧ: ᲂу҆чт҃лю бл҃гі́й, что̀ сотвори́въ, живо́тъ вѣ́чный наслѣ́дствꙋю;

19

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ Θεός.

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: что́ мѧ глаго́леши бл҃га; никто́же бл҃гъ, то́кмѡ є҆ди́нъ бг҃ъ:

20

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας· μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου.

за́пѡвѣди вѣ́си: не прелюбы̀ творѝ, не ᲂу҆бі́й, не ᲂу҆кра́ди, не лжесвидѣ́тельствꙋй, чтѝ ѻ҆тца̀ твоего̀ и҆ ма́терь твою̀.

21

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

ὁ δὲ εἶπε· ταῦτα πάντα ἐφυλαξάμην ἐκ νεότητός μου.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ сохрани́хъ ѿ ю҆́ности моеѧ̀.

22

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει· πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.

Слы́шавъ же сїѧ̑ і҆и҃съ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: є҆щѐ є҆ди́нагѡ не доконча́лъ є҆сѝ: всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆́маши, прода́ждь и҆ разда́й ни́щымъ: и҆ и҆мѣ́ти и҆́маши сокро́вище на нб҃сѝ: и҆ грѧдѝ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀.

23

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγένετο· ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.

Ѻ҆́нъ же слы́шавъ сїѐ, приско́рбенъ бы́сть: бѣ́ бо бога́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀.

24

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς περίλυπον γενόμενον εἶπε· πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

Ви́дѣвъ же є҆го̀ і҆и҃съ приско́рбна бы́вша, речѐ: ка́кѡ не ᲂу҆до́бь и҆мꙋ́щїи бога́тство въ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе вни́дꙋтъ:

25

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστι κάμηλον διὰ τρυμαλιᾶς ραφίδος εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.

ᲂу҆до́бѣе бо є҆́сть вельбꙋ́дꙋ сквозѣ̀ и҆глинѣ̑ ᲂу҆́шы проитѝ, не́же бога́тꙋ въ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе вни́ти.

26

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

εἶπον δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες· καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;

Рѣ́ша же слы́шавшїи: то̀ кто̀ мо́жетъ сп҃се́нъ бы́ти;

27

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἐστιν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: невозмѡ́жнаѧ ᲂу҆ человѣ̑къ возмѡ́жна сꙋ́ть ᲂу҆ бг҃а.
